Scenario

When workplace inclusion efforts feel performative and uncomfortable

Our team hired two people from underrepresented backgrounds last year and I've noticed they both seem isolated in meetings and social situations but when I try to be more inclusive, it feels forced and awkward. The rest of the team acts like everything is fine but I don't think it is.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Good intentions around inclusion can create artificial interactions that maintain rather than bridge social divides.
